| | Vaccinium |
 | | The vacciniums typically are found in part shade in their native ranges but can occur in full sun to full shade. |  | | The flowers are typically white, although some species have pink to rose colored flowers, and are borne on or near the ends of the branches enhancing their display. |  | | The genus Vaccinium is part of the Ericaceae or heath (rhododendron) family and has approximately 450 different species, about 40 species of which are native to the eastern United States. |

 | | Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) seedlings grown in the greenhouse can be transplanted onto favorable sites 6 to 7 weeks after emergence. |  | | Seed: Seeds of most Vacciniums are of short viability and are readily killed by heat [55]. |  | | Seeds typically germinate from 18 to 82 days after planting; germination tends to be bimodal with large numbers of seeds germinating early and late [90]. |

| | THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SOME VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM VARIETIES |
 | | It was, however, impossible to plant a Vaccinium myrtillus culture because this species requires partial shade, preferable that of conifers. |  | | For 5 years, samples were taken several times throughout the maturation period. |  | | Because of the increasing demand of Vaccinium myrtillus berries, it was important to see whether berries of other Vaccinium species had the same chemical composition and could be used for the anthocyanoside extractions. |

 | | The genus, Vaccinium, officially named by Linnaeus, is native to the Northern Hemisphere and is estimated to contain 150 species. |  | | By John Gerard's time, the late 1500s, the 'blueberries' were grouped under the name, Vaccinia, but were commonly called the wortle, whortle, or hurtle berries. |  | | All of the Vaccinium produce berries, although not all berries in this genus are consumed by humans, most serve as fodder for wildlife. |
